A North Staffordshire high school will be closed for a second day tomorrow due to issues with its gas supply.

Blythe Bridge High School and Sixth Form was shut today (Thursday November 29) after being left with no hot water, heating or cooking facilities.

This afternoon the school confirmed they would remain closed on Friday - and hoped to reopen on Monday morning.

In a message to parents, the school said: "Engineers have been on site all day and have now located the issue with the gas supply. Specialist teams and equipment are required to rectify the problem and will be working in school all day on Friday.

"Along with the continued lack of heating, hot water and cooking facilities, we have been instructed that school must remain closed to students whilst this work is carried out.

"At present, we are confident that school will be open as usual on Monday.
